Hi Jerry,

To avoid this 'random' (although I believe it is only random within a given 
range of port numbers) we use polling mode scheduling for clients outside of 
our inner firewall. The clients will then only use the TCP port specified in 
the client options files. Works fine. We are running TSM server 3.7.3.6 and 
clients are mostly 3.1.0.6.

I can't understard why Tivoli would say this is undersupported. Sure there are 
some limiations but as long as you can live with them I don't see a problem.
